VICTORVILLE — Authorities discovered three stabbing victims in a black PT Cruiser on Mojave Drive near La Paz Drive on Tuesday morning, and one man was later arrested in connection with the case.

San Bernardino County Sheriff’s detectives said the stabbings occurred at the Summer Breeze Apartments in the 14900 block of Seneca Road. Investigators said Timothy Ola, 33, and William Johnson, 32, forced entry into a woman’s apartment on Tuesday morning in a dispute over the ownership of a vehicle.

Detectives said the men began physically attacking the woman before her husband, Juan Rubio, pulled out a knife and stabbed Ola.

Sheriff’s officials said deputies were responding to a report of the stabbing when they saw a black PT Cruiser run a red light on Mojave Drive at about 9:30 a.m. Deputies said they discovered Ola and Johnson in the car.

There were three other people in the car, two of whom were women who had suffered apparent stab wounds. Sheriff’s detectives said they are still investigating how the two women were involved.

San Bernardino County Fire Department officials said Ola was airlifted with critical injuries to Loma Linda University Medical Center. One of the female victims also was transported by helicopter with serious injuries, and the other woman was able to walk herself to an ambulance. Sheriff’s officials said all three are expected to survive.

Johnson, who allegedly broke into the apartment with Ola, was arrested and booked into the High Desert Detention Center in Adelanto on suspicion of forced bribery of a witness and burglary. He is scheduled to be arraigned at the Victorville courthouse on Thursday afternoon.

Rubio, who investigators say stabbed Ola, had not been arrested or charged with a crime as of Tuesday afternoon. Detectives said it is still possible he could be arrested pending further investigation.

Call logs showed another report of a stabbing nearby the previous night — at 10:37 p.m. Monday in the 14900 block of Seneca Road — but detectives said that event was unrelated.
